Forastero me llaman porque no tengo
Ni un miserable rancho pa'mis inviernos
Pude tenerlo, es cierto, pude tenerlo
Pero gasté mis cobres con forasteros
Come mi pan hermano, bebe mi vino
Y sigue caminando por los caminos
Monedita redonda la de los pobres
La platita en sus manos se vuelve cobre
Han de cantar un día los chacareros
Trabajado sus chacras, trigal y cielo
Come mi pan hermano, bebe mi vino
Y sigue caminando por los caminos
Mi tierra está llenita de forasteros
Campesinos sin campo, coyas sin cerro
Pude tener un rancho, pude tenerlo
Pero gasté mis cobres con forasteros
Come mi pan hermano, bebe mi vino
(Y sigue caminando por los caminos)
Come mi pan hermano, bebe mi vino
(Y sigue caminando por los caminos)
